How to Make Bangladeshi Chicken Salad

  1. Chop 1 cucumber, 1 carrot, 2 medium tomatoes, and 1 cup of corn kernels.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or plain yogurt) and mix well.
  4. Refrigerate the vegetable mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken pieces, 1 tablespoon ginger paste, 1 tablespoon garlic paste, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon coriander powder, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), 1 tablespoon dried mint leaves, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 large egg, and an additional 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Mix the chicken marinade thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (longer is better!).
  7. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  8. Add the marinated chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side).
  9. Remove the chicken and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  10. After 5 minutes, add the fried chicken to the chilled vegetable mixture.
  11. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and a pinch of salt (adjust to taste).
  12. Gently mix everything together. Note: Onions and additional salt are added at the end to prevent excess moisture and off-flavors from developing in the refrigerator.
  13. Enjoy your delicious Bangladeshi-style chicken salad immediately!
